Big Bear Bald Eagle Jackie Receives Life-Saving Blood Transfusion Amid Critical Condition
Jackie, a well-known bald eagle from Big Bear Lake, California, is currently in critical condition after receiving a life-saving blood transfusion. Jackie was found on the ground near Big Bear Lake and is now undergoing treatment at the Ojai Raptor Center. Veterinary teams suspect that Jackie was already ill before she was seen in a fight with two younger eagles. Her mate, Shadow, continues to care for their offspring, Sandy and Luna, while protecting the nest from other eagles. The Friends of Big Bear Valley, a nonprofit organization, has been providing updates on Jackie's condition and the activities of Shadow and their offspring.
